how can i get a copy of my 2012 tax return emailed to me

could you please email me a copy of my 2012 tax return? I see there are a lot of questions om that year, I saved it in my files but cannoy find it. I need this ASAP!!! i have used turbotav for a few years and have had great service but this is crazy.

Why are you unable to access your 2012 return yourself? That is the current year return. if you prepared it Online, just sign back into your return, choose "Continue a return", and then go the Print Center. You can print out a copy and/or save it as a PDF file.

NOTE: Be aware that both of these files are very sensitive and contain all your personal ID info and financial info. So store them safely and securely, protecting them from computer theft, hacking, etc.

You refer to the 2012 return as "that year", but that is the current return that most people have been filing the last few months and will be until October. I just wanted to make sure we are talking about the same year. In any case, TT cannot email you a copy of your return. Also be aware that is not safe to email tax returns in regular email since they contain all your personal ID info, financial info, etc.

If you used the Desktop version and no longer have the *.tax2012 data file or a saved .PDF, then there is no way for TT to get you a copy of your return. But first do a complete search of your entire computer for any file ending in the *.tax2012 extension, or for the PDF file. If still no luck, you can use one of the methods below:
